1. Trash and Recyclables Trash and
recyclables are to be placed curb­side by 7A.M. Trash and recycling
will not be collected on these holidays: Thanksgiving Day, Christmas
Day, and New Years Day. By Ordinance No. 578‑2006, containers shall
have a capacity of no greater than thirty-five (35) gallons and a
total weight not to exceed fifty (50) pounds each. o bulk items
(household furnishings) will be collected with trash.

2. Brush and Grass Clippings Brush
and grass clippings will be picked up on Thursdays. Use of plas­tic
bags for clip­pings is prohibited. White goods/metal will be picked
up on Fridays. The Borough of Avalon recognizes and promotes the
many benefits of “cut it and leave it” when it comes to cutting
grass on your property. Many do not realize that by leaving the
grass clippings on your lawn when you mow, nature does its own
recycling.

Environmental Benefits: Increased
organic matter content which promotes healthier soil and plants;
Increased water retention in the soil; Increased soil microbial life
which promotes an overall healthier lawn; Will need to fertilize
25–50% less since clippings return nutrients.

Why you should “cut it and leave it?” By
cutting and leaving it, mowers will save 20–25% of their time which
is about 7 hours per season. In addition, each ton of grass
clippings costs around $65–100 for disposal. By cutting and leav­ing
grass clip­pings, mowers save both their time and money while
allowing better fertilization for their lawns.

3. Recycling is Mandatory in New Jersey.
Recycle (a) all newspaper, magazines, cardboard and office paper
(gray — shoe, cereal or food boxes not recycled) and placed in paper
bags or reusable containers and (b) all rinsed glass bottles and
jars, aluminum and tin cans, and household plastic bottles and place
in a container with a “recycling” sticker. Use of plastic bags for
recycling is strictly prohibited. There is a courtesy trash area at
15th Street and Dune Drive behind the Public Works Building. The
courtesy trash and recycle area is open every day except
Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day from 7:00am-3:00pm.

4. Use of plastic bags for trash is strictly prohibited, unless
inside a container with a secure lid. All trash and recycling cans
must be permanently labeled with the address of the owner in
lettering not less than two inches in height.

5. No Bulky Items (household
furnishings) will be collected with trash. You may place bulk trash
at the curb anytime from May 3rd through May 12th, and all items
must be curb-side no later than 7:00am on May 13th. During the fall,
you may place bulk trash at the curb anytime from August 30th
through September 8th, and all items must be curbside no later than
7:00am on September 9th. Construction materials are not collected
at any time. If you have any questions regarding Avalon’s trash or
bulk trash collections, please call the Avalon Department of Public
Works at (609) 967 7697 (Monday through Fri-day between
7:00am-3:30pm).

6. The Avalon Department of Public Works
will gladly collect rigid plastics from the curbside of your
property. These plastics will be collected for recycling. Rigid
plastics include empty plastic buckets, storage containers, toys,
lawn furniture, flower pots and other rigid plastic items. Kindly
call us at (609) 967 7697 to let us know you have rigid plastics
curbside, and we will pick them up for recycling. For more than two
years, the Avalon Department of Public Works is pleased to offer
this service to Avalon property owners!

7. New Jersey requires that old
TVs, computers and computer monitors — items known collectively as
electronic waste, or e-waste — must be recycled as of January 1,
2011, as required by the Electronic Waste Management Act. The
Electronic Waste Management Act bans the disposal of televisions and
all personal or portable computers — including desktop, notebook and
laptop computers, as well as computer monitors — in the regular
waste stream beginning Jan. 1, 2011. Manufacturers of these devices
will now be funding the collection of e-waste so that it is free for
consumers. The new law means residents can no longer put TVs,
computers and monitors out on the curb for pickup under regular
solid waste col-lection programs. Many residents will have to take
these items to a drop-off point, such as a county or municipal solid
waste collection center or a participating electronics retail store.
Avalon already conducts an e-waste pickup curbside in our community.
For more information, please call (609) 967 7697.
